Class RecordPatternsSecondPreviewExamples

java.lang.Object

net.jrodolfo.java_evolution.java20.RecordPatternsSecondPreviewExamples

public class RecordPatternsSecondPreviewExamples
extends Object

Demonstrates record patterns as refined in the Java 20 second preview.

Record patterns reduce the gap between declaring transparent data with records and extracting that data later. Java 20 refined the preview, especially around nested record patterns, so code can match a structure and bind its interesting pieces in one place.

Record patterns became final in Java 21. The nested record-pattern syntax shown here remains faithful to the Java 20 second preview while documenting its preview status.
